- Finding type
- vessel_history
- Finding
- NARA Special List No. 44, a list of U.S. Navy deck logs arranged by ship number, identifies PYC-1 as Emerald and gives the listed span 1940-12-27 through 1942-08-11. This establishes that NARA's Navy deck-log holdings identify the hull and cover the wartime period beginning December 1940.

[4]Batch-8669 search ledger in this record: NARA Special List No. 44; NARA RG 181 finding aid; attempted authenticated CourtListener helper request [other_primary]
- Locator
- search_ledger sl-uss-emerald-pyc1-01 through sl-uss-emerald-pyc1-04
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- No ship-specific asbestos documentation was located in the authoritative public sources searched: the retrieved NARA deck-log catalog and RG 181 finding aid identify the hull and archival paths but provide no asbestos survey, abatement record, hazmat disclosure, product identification, or underlying correspondence. CourtListener's required four-query sweep was not completed because the authenticated helper reported the fleet-wide pacing budget momentarily spent before results were returned.

- Limitations
- This is a bounded search result, not proof that asbestos was absent aboard Emerald. The CourtListener sweep is an access gap, not a no-result finding, and the underlying RG 181 correspondence and deck logs were not reviewed for material information.

- Archival lead: NARA's RG 181 finding aid identifies Seventh Naval District general-correspondence files on Emerald/PYC-1 disposition and lay-up in 1944. Those files, and the PYC-1 deck logs cataloged by NARA, are the first records to retrieve for hull-specific operational, alteration, disposition, or material references.
